- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: I am sorry, but just on what the Minister of State outlined, what he did not address is that there is a broadcasting element in this. This will show how cynical this is. What we are introducing in the broadcasting element of this Bill is less than what is required of the broadcasting authorities and yet the Government wants it taken out. Why? If we are asking for less, why does it want to...

- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: I said deafness is not a party political issue, but a civil rights issue. This is an issue about the extreme marginalisation of a community and I thank the Senators who have spoken on this amendment and on other issues. I especially thank Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee, who is sick, had an operation recently and came in to get this Bill passed. The Government withdrew its own amendment that...

- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: It beggars belief that we are in this position after ten months of discussion and negotiations. We wanted to support some amendments the Government proposed but it did not table them and therefore we did. The cynical part of this is that if the Government had tabled them, they could have been included in the Bill. We tabled them, and because of that, the Chair has ruled, as is his right,...

Mark Daly: May I clarify something?
- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: This is where changes need to be made to ensure the Bill is technically factually correct. The reason I submitted an amendment proposing in page 6, line 19, to delete "the Republic of Ireland" and substitute "the State" is because that is the correct reference in legislation. Although Senator Norris would point out that, of course, how I allowed for the Republic of Ireland to be dropped for...
- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: The Government was going to allow this House to let a Bill move forward to the Report Stage even though we were going to incorrectly define the legal parameters of the State. Does that sound like an Administration that wants to work with the deaf community in order to ensure that the Bill passes and is capable of working?
